✨ New Release ✨ Presumption of Guilt: Lily Greco Legal Thrillers Book 1

A prison guard is found dead in a women's correctional facility. A fellow guard—bewildered and betrayed—is the only suspect.

After a career-ending mistake, Attorney Lily Greco retreated to her small Pennsylvania hometown, haunted by her sister’s murder and the life she lost in its wake. Taking over the martial arts studio her sister once ran sustains a beloved community hub for local families, but when the mother of one of her young students is arrested for a seemingly airtight prison murder, Lily can't turn away.

She's never tried a murder case, and the evidence against her client is devastating. To win justice for her client, Lily must face her own demons and return to the courtroom for the fight of her life. If she loses, a vulnerable mother will be buried by the system—and whatever is hiding behind the prison walls will stay buried with her.
